The Oakland natural-wine favorite's Sonoma little sib — a mom-and-pop bar and bottle shop pouring organic, minimal-intervention bottles by the glass, with tinned conservas and a deep shelf to take home.

Pax Mahle's urban winery in Sebastopol's Barlow — a former lid factory with roll-up doors, vinyl, and wine on tap. He launched Pax in 2000 on Syrah's "untapped potential" and became a California benchmark. Taste foot-crushed, native-yeast Syrah, Gamay, and Chenin Blanc, with charcuterie and Friday music.

The Barlow's communal cellar — a locals-first bar where you pour your own from self-serve WineStations stocked with small Sonoma makers, then order in from the neighboring kitchens and stay a while.
